Predictive validity of a simulated licensure examination for physical and health education pre-service teachers
Abstract
This study determined the predictive validity of the CHK-Simulated LET Examination in determining success in the actual Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). Focusing on graduates from the College of Human Kinetics at Cagayan State University, this quantitative research examined the relationship between scores obtained in the simulated LET and the actual LET. Through Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression analyses, the study found that while the simulated LET has some predictive ability, it accounts for only 44.5% of the variance in actual LET performance. Notably, a significant positive correlation was observed among scores in General Education, Professional Education, and Major Subjects in both the simulated and actual LET. Furthermore, scores in the major subjects in the actual LET emerged as the most significant predictor of actual LET performance, while scores in General Education in the simulated LET were the most significant predictor of performance in the actual LET. These findings imply that while the simulated LET is a useful tool for preparation, it does not fully encapsulate all factors influencing success in the actual LET. The study recommends the continuous refinement of the simulated LET, a strategic emphasis on major subjects and professional education in curriculum development, and further research to explore additional factors influencing LET success.
